• individual language study by Native students who are pursuing study with:
  • universities or colleges offering coursework or research in the student's Native language, or
  • a fluent tribal language speaker of the student's Native language in a mentor-apprentice program, private immersion, or tutelage arrangement.
• research efforts to document and record a Native language for future preservation and education (examples include video or audio recording of elder speakers, private tutelage or immersion classes; books or films).
